Devour Souls

Pillar of Agony

Introduction

Hades

Hades is one of my favorite gods, he used to be a guardian but was allocated the role mage because he's... magical and did A LOTTA DAMAGE.

I like playing him mid, but you can certainly play him in solo, as long as you're not facing Cu Chulainn.

Skills

Blight

Pretty basic, this is how you get the most out of your abilities. You want to either weave autoattacks or activate this with your other abilities.

Death From Below

The standard mage escape/initiator. Applies Blight.

What some people don't know is that this is considered a leap (despite you going underground?), and is susceptible to Awilix's ultimate, so be careful of that. It also does a decent amount of damage,
so you can use it close out a kill. Pretty handy💦

Shroud of Darkness

Hade's panic button and main CC. Nothing about this that you don't already know. You can use this in place of Death from Below to blight minions/gods or to silence them in a pinch.

Devour Souls

Hade's bread and butter skill, Devour Souls. It does a **** ton of damage, heals you a bunch (especially with your lifesteal items later on in the game), and the main reason you can survive in lane. This, along with mana potions means you can stay in lane for a very long time. I went for ten minutes without recalling once.

Pillar of Agony💦💦💦SUCC💦💦💦

The reason why you're playing this god in the first place. It deals incredible amounts of damage provided they stay within succing distance. It's instrumental to all the teamfights you're in. It's a cheeky way to kill gods with little to no mobility (haha Artemis). It deals ~2800 assuming no protections (it even has protection reduction!) at full build. Most importantly, if you're facing a lifestealing anubis? No problem, just slap on a Divine Ruin and you'll win a 1v1 ult battle.

Quick Comment

Not a good idea. Late game, Hades still won;t be able to one shot people, and if he gets focused in his ult, he will get shredded. Not enough protections. I like the lifesteal through the damage idea, but it's not effective when the enemy team have their builds completed.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
